Cold Spring and Cove Neck

2021-12-102021-12-07Sherry Felix

Cold Spring Harbor, Nassau County, Long Island, NY About The Village | Cold Spring, NY was the start of a lovely day. We ate lunch at a lovely restaurant, the Harbor Mist, by Oyster Bay inlet on the Long Island Sound. There is a little park there dedicated to Billy Joel. Cold Spring Harbor was the name of Billy Joel’s first album in November 1, 1971.

Next we drove to Cove Neck on the opposite shore to see Sagamore Hill. Sagamore Hill was the home of Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States, from 1885 until his death in 1919. There is lots of history and pictures at the Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, NPS site. I installed The NPS App – Digital (U.S. National Park Service) app and watched VR tours of Sagamore Hill National Historic Site.

Beautiful area and excellent pics. I especially liked #11 – the sun sinking behind Roosevelt’s Sagamore Hill home.

Might there have been a photographer’s hand behind those stacked leaves? Regardless of the answer, it’s a compelling image.

What a beautiful area, Sherry. There’s so much more to Long Island than suburbs and strip malls.Thanks for sharing the interesting areas you explored.

  Thanks Dan. Long Island used to be all farms. There are lots of wild areas left.
